Multi-mission capability

With Giraffe 4A the commanding officer will access very high situation awareness through simultaneous air surveillance and GBAD target acquisition together with weapon locating capacity without performance degradation. If the situation dictates, the commanding officer can choose between search in the entire 360° volume or an optimised search in a sector (45°-120°).Both with coverage up to 70° of elevation.

Optimised weapon location mode

Giraffe 4A also offers an optimised mode for weapon locating where the radar continuously searches the horizon and immediately tracks incoming projectiles.The point of origin and point of impact are calculated and serve as input for counter-battery fire, adjustment of own fire or warning of incoming fire.

Surviability

Much emphasis has been put on ECCM performance in the design of Giraffe 4A. This includes:

Sector transmission, which can be independentlydefined by the operator

Automatic selection of least jammed frequency

Automatic jammer detection and tracking in both azimuth and elevation

Operated locally or remotely

Giraffe 4A is designed to be operated locally or by remote control. Local operation is executed with a ruggedised PC in close connection to the system. The system also includes an operator module with two operator places in an NBC protected and armoured shelter.

Flexibility and mobility

Giraffe 4A can be deployed by two persons in less than 10 min and teardown takes less than 5 min. It can also be airlifted by a single C-130 using standard equipment for container handling. With larger aircraft, such as the IL-76, C-17 or A400M the system can be transported as drive-on/drive-off cargo.
